Many thanks are given by me every night to the Greek gods Hypnos (sleep) and his son Morpheus (dreams) for the existence of supplemental melatonin. Wi...
The meal combination you mentioned is indeed a tasty treat. Emphasis on the word “treat”. Unfortunately, a can of Coke or Pepsi can deliver a sizable ...
Awesome! One question: is England the team wearing the red pajamas with the drawing of three kittens on it? Or are they the team with the dark blue sh...
If I may volunteer... but can I borrow a couple coins first? Don’t really have any solid money, ATM. (Pun intended). I got some 10,000 Dogecoins... (a...
Oh, I’m with you all the way. <assumes the character and voice of Bill Murray’s character of groundskeeper Carl in the movie Caddyshack> So... about t...
Harry McGuire (i think) with the header goal! My wife wishes that I half that that skilled with my head. I mean when I’m playing soccer football... of...
:up: Oh most definitely! It seems though that the current odds favor a disaster(s) itself being that very population control, most unfortunately. I ho...
Alright... who else wants to see England vs Russia in the semifinals? (Russia better be in there, if the ref wants to have a very happy and healthy fu...
:up: Interesting answer, with which I would tend to agree. Could you expand on that? My thoughts on applying tribal cultures’ approach on raising chil...
The countless flora and fauna of the soul needs both the Yin and Yang. Sometimes the bustle and brightness of a summer day, sometime a cool dark night...
True, I suppose that would just be my take on it, which one could take or leave. :wink: And there is some rationalization there in forming an approach...
Strangely enough, the vultures got food poisoning after only a minute and had to fly weakly away. The Boss was totally unhurt, and actually felt bette...
Thanks @"VagabondSpectre" and @"Pseudonym" for your thorough discussion of the topic. Been following the back-and-forth keenly. (I think the match is ...
Not really. They were tiny cute hummingbirds. Much smaller than the vultures that were feeding on his boss’s bloated carcass. :scream: :vomit: :monkey...
Did anyone ask for yet more maxims? (Well here they are anyway) 1. Honesty is always, always, always the best policy. At all times, places, and in all...
Oh... Anagrams? That could be fun! Ok, let's see... Narc jobber sect expected my nip? Prance my birds, expect en object! Expect mercy. Birds jab on Pe...
Ha! Fair enough and well played. Thanks for not dismissing my post despite the perhaps mild exasperation. I’ll try to do likewise. You are Christian? ...
Peace, brother. Forgive me please for skipping to your conclusions though, for it seems here is where we will most respectfully part on this matter. W...
Thanks for your thanks. Usually I tend to ramble on, so this may be the first time I’ve been asked for more. First of all, a little personal backgroun...
:pray: Thanks for your reply. I’m just a seeker, but don’t know for sure if any book or lecture would describe Buddhism like it was in your post. But ...
Sorry... I realize this is the Shoutbox, but this statement might also need to be unpacked if you don’t mind. Are you perhaps saying that Buddhism is ...
Ok, thanks for the reply. :up: It’s just that the graph reminds of the quotation “there are lies, damned lies, and statistics”. (Popularized by Mark T...
Not to make a Supreme Court case out of it, but I have some trouble taking these graphs at face value, or even very seriously. At first I was confused...
That’s a good strategy. Especially when sending back food might encourage the kitchen staff to add their own... erm... special sauce to the dish, like...
No, not really. I think I once flagged a comment by someone who was just spamming or obviously trolling. Disagreed with comments numerous times of cou...
Sorry man, just a lame joke and a handful of assumptions on my part. No offense. Carry on. But several members have seemed to self-destruct recently. ...
Well... after much red tape I finally found out the # to call. It’s 1-800-BTT-HURT... I have it on speed dial and call at least twice a week. Sorry, b...

While looking for more Sam Harris videos, found this movie which is in two parts. Haven’t watched it all, but looks interesting and well-made. https:/...
Hmmm... Sensing the impending creation of the long anticipated Bro thread (with comments split from the Shoutbox). A virtual 24-hour imaginary frat pa...
Firstly, it must be said that the significant exceptions to the theory of “civilization gone wrong” would be the prolific discoveries of science, and ...
But like a swan, staying graceful on the surface while padding away underneath. :flower: :ok: (Being sincere here... so am not responsible for the sar...
Just watched the movie The Prestige again recently. I am not exactly sure what films would make my top 10 metaphysical movies, but this one would be n...
Thanks for the reply. Not necessarily saying that I understand it either! Well, the Buddha refused to talk about certain questions. For a good and hel...
Well, it seemed like Sam Harris explained it fairly well himself in that video. But one could imagine that it brings up other points not covered there...
Oh, I hear ya. Unlimited ventilation! But my family and I get honks and dirty looks when we ride our bicycles on the freeway. Maybe it’s the training ...
We now have cars driving around without a human controlling it. But somehow making a car that doesn’t get deadly and suffocatingly hot within minutes ...
